dreamachine
film - a/v performance - 2025
dreamachine emerged from the collaboration between sound artist Estelle Schorpp and video artist Charline Dally. Created from archival footage recorded on DV cassettes in the Shinkansen and Hong Kong trains, the film brings together images that become fluid, blending with analog video feedback and shimmering textures. Musically, synthesized sounds and field recordings, modulated by algorithmic processes, compose a hybrid soundscape with brilliant and enveloping textures. The project seeks to transpose the sensation of looking out of a train window, and the way in which the mind can escape and float away in a dreamlike state.
“You come away with the feeling of having spent
a long time gazing out of a train window,
not quite knowing whether you were awake or dreaming.”
Félicité Couëlle-Brunet, PAN M 360, MUTEK 2026 [translated from French]
